Need ideas for all those strawberries?

It's strawberry season here in Maryland, and if you're like us, you've been consuming your weight in strawberries almost every day (it's okay -- strawberries are very healthy!) Whether you pick them in your own garden (assuming the birds haven't beat you to those sweet treats) or you purchased a motherlode from Schlagel's or Reberts/Benny's at the Market last weekend, they're a great treat after the long, cold winter.

We usually just eat them plain, maybe with a little plain Greek yogurt (and brown sugar) if we're feeling fancy. And there are lots of strawberry-orange-banana smoothies at our house on school mornings -- they're a perfect way to wake everyone up and energize them for the final weeks of school. A strawberry dropped in a glass of chilled riesling at the end of the day? Heaven. Of course, there's jam making and pies, too, but what if you're looking for something really different? Last week I came across an intriguing recipe -- fried strawberries with chocolate sauce.
